Bio
Trying to branch out my tastes and this seems like a good place to find new stuff to play. Feel free to follow my Twitter where I don't talk about games or Letterboxd where I barely watch movies.
Note on my scoring; 5-star ratings do not indicate some sort of objective standard or a 100% perfect experience for me. Instead, I give games that rating in the event that any shortcomings the game has are far outweighed by the things the game does right, or by the unique experience provided.

Charming WAD but due to the cardinal sins of having reloading as well as platforming I hereby banish you to hell forever
This review contains spoilers
Really awesome concept and eerie without going too overboard, I found the IRL plot/ARG to be a little goofy but found the act of exploring an abandoned game to be really enthralling.
If I can make one nitpick: having a VERY easily accessible NPC give you the name of an area that's just a bunch of dumb skeletons doing 2020s meme poses is about the quickest way to pull me out of a game ever. Hard to get too invested in the lore of exploring an unfinished 2000 PC RPG when you walk into a room with a skeleton dabbing and another one with the dialog "sus". Wasn't funny enough to warrant briefly breaking the game's tone, especially with how good a job it does pulling you into the concept.

This is likely the greatest game of all time
Addendum: Sorry I got really drunk listening to the soundtrack and felt the need to say that
